I'm really limited with funds since my only
support for my training is my parents, so some understanding will be
appreciated.

You know, if your mom is blonde and keeps herself in good shape, you might
be able to go straight to the source and get LANCE interested.

lance is shopping from catalogues now.

LANCE is dating someone that looks like mom!
How is it that Lafferty didn't see this first?

I'm pretty sure the OP's question is also addressed in the group FAQ.
Not that anyone ever reads the FAQ.

Some people have the FAQ killfiled.

Ahhh, the illiterati. Usenet is like that.

Which means that you don't start by buying a bike that's just going to
make you look ugly when you buy the matching clothes. Basic red is
always a good starting point. Only Serotta would paint a racing bike
brown on a regular basis - don't even go there unless you really know
how to style.

Phonak were real pros, you could see that by the way their clothes didn't
match their bikes.

They focused more on sound then sight.

On that team, blindness would have been a mercy.

As for useless university experiences, it is my opinion that most of
the doctorates written by
Stanford cycling team members were uninteresting
and were never followed up with a meaningful research career, that is,
not a single publication.

dumbass,

the degree, or the job it leads to is the meaningful result. i was
bemused by ryan's notion in the erdos thread that research was for the
benefit of mankind, when anyone in academia knows that most papers are
written for the benefit of the author.

And most baseballs are hit in practice. But that rather messy process is
the only way we know to advance knowledge.

As far as I'm concerned, the Cat I and II riders
should not have wasted their time on useless Ph.D.'s and tried to see
how far they could go in bike racing.

having a PhD is like being a Cat 1 in academics, you are still very
far from the protour.

Heh. There's something to be said for the notion that a graduate student
on a college team is more likely to be a great racer than a great
academic.

But the world probably needs mediocre academics more than it needs great
racers.
